On Saturday’s Up w/ Chris Hayes, we’ll discuss what the next phase of the economy should look like after the recovery is over. We’ll debate the value of growth — whether raw economic growth is, in itself, a good thing, or whether a happy, sustainable future with broad prosperity for all is possible without constant growth. And we’ll examine the major battles in Silicon Valley over intellectual property, likely to be one of the bulwarks of the next economy.

Joining Chris at 8 AM ET on MSNBC will be:

Saket Soni, Director of the National Guestworker Alliance and the New Orleans Workers’ Center for Racial Justice.

Heather McGhee, Vice President of Policy and Outreach at Demos.

Richard Wolff, Visiting Professor in the Graduate Program in International Affairs of the New School University.

Karl Smith, Assistant Professor of Economics and Government at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Chrystia Freeland, Editor of Thomson Reuters Digital and author of “Plutocrats: The Rise of the New Global Super-Rich and the Fall of Everyone Else.”

Christian Parenti, Contributing Editor to The Nation magazine and author of “Tropic of Chaos: Climate Change and the New Geography of Violence.”

Juliet Schor, Professor of Sociology at Boston College and author of “Plenitude: The New Economics of True Wealth.”

Susan Crawford, Professor at the Center on Intellectual Property and Information Law Program at Carodozo School of Law and author of “Captive Audience: Telecom Monopolies in the New Gilded Age.”
